You'll want to slip this recipe into the front of your last-minute guests file. Pasta and mixed greens nicely complement the tender, citrusy shellfish. —Margaret E. Lowenberg, Kingman, Arizona

Ingredients

1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound sea scallops
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup white wine or reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley

Directions

In a shallow bowl, toss bread crumbs with salt. Dip scallops in crumb mixture to coat both sides, patting to help coating adhere.
In a large skillet, heat butter and oil over medium-high heat. Add scallops; cook 1-1/2 to 2 minutes on each side or until firm and opaque. Remove from pan; keep warm.
Add wine, lemon juice and garlic to same pan; bring to a boil. Stir in parsley. Drizzle over scallops; serve immediately.
